there will be regeneration in the area, i know because i work for a drone company, we have been doing lots of shoots round there this summer, i know of at least 8 towers planned in the area between liver buildings and bramley moore

The more i think about this, the less convinced i am about the timescales.

When this was first floated and the ball started rolling (both stadium & games), it was all with an eye for the 2026 games.The Durban debacle meant everything had to be brought forward 4 years (and is the reason the decision to give it to Birmingham was the correct one).

I'd be astonished if we were playing our homegames at BM in 2022. I'd say that, or the year after, would be best bet for 'spades in the ground'.

Still think they'll look at ways to accelerate the Waterfront development now we're moving there, would have been nice to have hammered it but as you say the scale of construction/design and funding required you've no chance... the stadium will be about 2.5yr build with some upfront ground works imo, so basically to hit 2022, they've got 16mths to secure the funding and get an accepted design through the council which is achievable when dealing with just the stadium in isolation.

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.
